Makeoff catches every hidden note and conflicting detail automatically
Makeoff flags scope gaps, contradicting drawings, missing OFCI, underground items, and price-risk errors automatically so you can bid clean, fast, and with confidence.
Make risk visible early instead of discovering it when it is too late.
Know What Is Wrong Before the Bid Goes Out
Makeoff scans the entire plan set and surfaces conflicts, gaps, and contradictions automatically so you are not relying on manual review alone.
Flags conflicts between drawings, specs, and trades
Surfaces scope gaps hidden across sheets and notes
We help electrical teams eliminate the uncertainty that slows estimating and creates risk. Unlike tools that just speed up takeoff, Makeoff actually understands your drawings and specs: catching hidden scope, contradictions, and code issues so your bids are right the first time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this actually catch real issues in my drawings?
Yes. Makeoff reads the full plan set including drawings, specs, notes, and callouts to surface conflicts, gaps, and scope risks that are easy to miss during manual review.
How is Makeoff different from the takeoff or estimating software I already use?
Traditional estimating tools focus on quantities and pricing. Makeoff focuses on risk by identifying scope gaps, contradictions, and coordination issues before they turn into problems.
What happens after I upload my plans?
Makeoff analyzes the entire plan set and returns a clear view of conflicts, hidden scope, and risk items for you to review before bid day.
Do I still need to manually check everything?
Not everything but you should check the outputs. Makeoff acts as a second set of expert eyes, surfacing issues so you can focus your manual review where it actually matters.
How does Makeoff handle OFCI and responsibility delineation?
Makeoff identifies owner furnished items and clarifies responsibility boundaries so materials and scope are assigned correctly in your estimate.
I already use Accubid or McCormick. How does Makeoff fit into that workflow?
Makeoff sits upstream of your estimating software, helping you validate scope and identify risk before or alongside building your estimate in Accubid or McCormick. We support imports from all major estimating platforms.
What types of projects does Makeoff work best on?
Makeoff is designed for larger, blueprint based commercial projects where plan complexity, coordination, and scope clarity matter most.
How are RFIs generated from plan conflicts?
When Makeoff finds missing or conflicting information, it helps turn those findings into clear, documented RFIs you can issue early.
How are exclusions created and documented?
Exclusions are generated directly from gaps, ambiguities, or missing information found in the plans, making your scope explicit and defensible.
